I am a child working at the age of three
I am a human being tortured – in form of a girl
I am looking for a better life – healthier water, happiness……… I am an orphan
I am the death in poor country ……... I am the reality of poverty
I am a slave, thrown into prison for disobeying,
I am an open-minded enslaved giving back all that’s known
I am a bomb that fall a part in war …... I am sorrow
I am holding on to the terrible past but letting go off the wonderful future
I am hiding for shelter just to live and looking for joy, peace, harmony to live out the pain
I am a disgrace for some cultures and subject of racism
I am a mother fighting for her children’s rights
I am life dropping like tears from the hopeless child
I am a citizen but no one seems to care
I am shouts of peace, freedom and prosperity
I am dying before I am born
I am an empty plate for hungry stomach and a burden in my parents’ eyes
I am sold away to unknown world
I am culture after culture being split apart
I am raising my voice but then I die ………... I am discrimination
I am dirty water in the fresh water pond
I am along, growing my own home
I have suffered enough and now I deserve peace, freedom, harmony and finally joy of my being a live but still
